Azata Golf has once again hosted a resoundingly successful “sold-out” leg of the SAN MIGUEL ANDALUCÍA GOLF CHALLENGE-Destination Dominican Republic by Globalia Circuit, which this year is celebrating its 14th edition.
Despite the presence of a considerable number of participants, the pace of play was excellent, while the tournament also enjoyed perfect weather and the speed of the greens was outstanding. The lunch offered after the competition in the clubhouse was served by the catering team that also runs the popular Pez en el Agua beach bar in Estepona.

Worthy of special mention is the collaboration provided to the tournament by the entire golf club team led by Agustín Alonso.
The prizes for the top players included magnums of wine from Bodegas Marqués de Terán (D.O. Rioja), dozens of Bridgestone balls, and apparel from the Puerto Banús boutique Fairway+blue.
